Trouble Coping

Hi all,
I am having a lot of trouble dealing with my break up, especially since I don't really have anyone to talk to. I was with my bf for almost 2 years (I am 21 and he is 24) but it was very serious. We were planning on moving in together after graduation, and he was planning on proposing. The reasons for the break up are very complicated (I broke up with him), but we were each other's best friends and are having a lot of trouble not speaking to each other. This is especially hard since the breakup caused a huge fight with my roommates and I, so we are not currently speaking. I don't really have many other friends who I can talk to, so I am feeling very alone. My family has been very supportive, but I feel like I have no one else I can count on. To make matters worse, I am home from school for winter break, and have 5 weeks of sitting on the couch being depressed ahead of me. I am having some financial trouble at the moment, so signing up for classes and things will be difficult right now.

How do I deal with this?

Welcome to the board starlover2007,


Sometimes we don't realize that inside of us we have the power to make choices and decisions that can change our outlook on life.

Hi Star Lover


When I read your post I felt like you were describing me when I was your age.


Not assuming we were just a like but when I was a young adult, I didn't have many close friends at all.

Thanks for your responses! I know I need to branch out...I just feel like at this point (as a second semester senior) everyone has their group of friends already. I'm thinking of tutoring at local schools through an organization at my school, so maybe I can meet people there. I think ultimately I am going to have to forgive my roommates so that I can keep my sanity next semester.
